    Ghost of Tsushima

    Ghosts of Tsushima had the most powerful ending of any game I ever played, it hit me harder than the end of Red Dead Redemption, which is saying a lot .

    No Man's Sky

    Jesus, when am I going to be old enough that I stop finding stuff like this funny?

    Ryan Coogler's The X-Files

    Can we get some spoiler tags in here? Show isn’t even out yet and all the plots are now ruined!

    Silo

    The writing for the show is horrendous. The major plot points from the book carry the show, but every - single - minor character interaction was hard to watch - particularly the filler scenes with Mechanical in season 2. Tim Robbins deserves an Oscar for pretending he was attracted to the judge...

    Elder Scrolls VI

    Brilliant analogy. Bravo!

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    That spoilered scene was really well done and I still think about it often. I also liked the Growler Gary plotline for some reason. That probably means I am a psychopath, but it was just my type of humor.

    The Witcher

    I loved season 1. It was even better on the second watch when the convoluted plot was easier to follow. After eagerly anticipating season 2, I was ready to bail by the time it was done. Cavill announcing he was out and this thread led me to not watch any of season 3. My wife, who is not attuned...

    Kingshot and other Base Building + Strategy Games

    Ours did, yeah, along with 80% of the alliance leadership. Ironically the top whale, the diva, from the other top alliance remained - which just made it worse. I lost all motivation to continue playing. Those that remained talked about merging with other alliances. I wish them luck. Hopefully...

    Well I am out, too, now. The server transfer event was a total kick in the nuts.

    Kingshot and other Base Building + Strategy Games

    I am still playing, but certainly our server is dying. There are only two active alliances now. Sure there are others in the “top 10” but they maybe have 10 active players and mostly dead accounts in their roster. They join us for the kvk events. Tuco accurately described our own whales. The...

    Murderbot

    Show is faithful to the books including being too short. Skarsgard is not as snarky as Free but he really nails the social awkwardness. The way they weave in the Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon is great!

    Kingshot and other Base Building + Strategy Games

    That is good to hear. You are a few weeks ahead of me, but I am in a similar situation. I was top 20 power in the #4 alliance, but we just recently merged into the top alliance (displacing a lot of riffraff). Now I am #65. Our State just opened up the Fertile Lands today to give you a sense of...

    Kingshot and other Base Building + Strategy Games

    Are you still playing this over a month later or did the P2W finally get you? The All Out events that encourage whales to grind on everyone else really kills the community. After each one is a huge reshuffle as alliances die and merge.
